Cecelia Bittner graduated from Simmons College this past spring. During the first semester of her senior year, she wrote a case for the Hot Mommas Project entitled “TightRope Act.” Cecelia’s case begins by highlighting the many things to which she committed during her senior year, including a 24 credit hour course load, an internship, and a part-time job. Cecelia felt under great pressure, but a key relationship she formed in her academic/professional life helped to alleviate much of this pressure. With whom was this crucial relationship? A mentor.
